New York Erb's Palsy Lawyer

New York Birth Injury and Medical Malpractice Attorney

If you are a parent whose child suffers from the disorder known as Erb's palsy, you know how much pain and stress this condition can have for the child and the rest of your family. Erb's palsy impacts the nervous system and the nerves that impact the shoulder, arm and hand. When the brachial plexus is impacted and stretched during labor or delivery, it can result in Erb's palsy.

Unfortunately, many cases of Erb's palsy come after avoidable mistakes made by doctors and medical professionals. At The Perecman Law Firm, our skilled lawyers and experienced support staff assist our clients in recovering maximum compensation from those medical professionals who are responsible for birth injuries. With more than 50 years of experience in New York, our firm has gotten results for parents in situations like yours and can help you get the benefits you deserve to pay for medical treatment and continuing care for your child.

Medical Malpractice and Birth Injuries

When the brachial plexus is stretched during the birthing process, it can tear the nerve. Sometimes the nerve may be torn completely from the spine. In other cases, the nerves form scar tissue around the injury that prevent signals from the nerve to the muscle.

Children who are impacted by these injuries during labor may face a lifetime of issues, including the inability to control or move hands, arms, wrists, shoulders and elbows. Proper monitoring during labor, the use of Cesarean sections and proper epidural administration during birth can all help to prevent these injuries from happening.

Medical malpractice claims may also be helpful in preventing future instances of Erb's palsy by holding hospitals and doctors accountable for their actions.
